Russian hackers hijack hotel Wi-Fi networks to spy on travelers, Microsoft says
Microsoft revealed that Russian state-sponsored actors have compromised hotel Wi-Fi networks globally to harvest traveler credentials and deploy espionage malware on connected devices. The attackers target a key vector where security controls are typically weaker and users are likely to connect vulnerable mobile and laptop devices.
Why it matters: Business travelers and hotel guests are at immediate risk of credential theft and device compromise when connecting to hotel networks; security teams should advise users to use VPN and assume hotel Wi-Fi is untrusted.
